Video Supported Training on Non-Stress Test Application to Pregnant Women

Women go through many practices during their pregnancy. These practices, along with ignorance, create stress in the mother. However, performing the procedures for the first time may increase the mother's stress level. Stress during pregnancy also affects prenatal attachment. Non-Stress Test (NST) Application is a test applied to pregnant women starting from the 28th week of pregnancy and provides information about the baby's well-being and uterine contractions. There is a gap in the literature regarding education for pregnant women undergoing NST regarding stress levels and prenatal attachment. With this study, stress levels and prenatal attachment levels in pregnant women will be determined during NST, which is frequently applied during pregnancy. Additionally, the effects of midwifery care in this process will be realized. In this way, solutions will be produced for problems that may arise. A better quality of midwifery care will be provided

About this study

Background: NST may negatively affect the stress level and prenatal attachment level in primiparous pregnant women.

Purpose: This study will be carried out to determine the effect of video-educated midwifery care given to primiparous pregnant women before NST application on pregnancy stress and prenatal attachment levels.

Method: The data of the research will be collected at Tokat State Hospital after permission. During data collection, pregnant women who apply to the NST room of the relevant hospital and meet the inclusion criteria for the study will be informed about the researchers and the study. Written consent will be obtained from pregnant women who volunteer to participate in the study by filling out the "Informed Volunteer Consent Form". The training will be held in a suitable room (a quiet room where individuals can sit comfortably and see each other) in the area where the NST room is located in the hospital. Pregnant women will be informed about the purpose of the study, the confidentiality of the answers, where and how the data will be stored, and their questions on the subject will be answered. Data collection forms will be given to the participant by the researcher and they will be asked to fill them out. The data collection forms will be checked by the researcher to see if they have been filled out completely. This process is planned to take approximately 10-15 minutes.

Experimental Group: In addition to midwifery care, training content, training videos and brochure-supported training on NST will be provided. The NST device will be inserted and, to be standard, 5 minutes after the procedure begins, the volume of the fetal heart sound coming from the device will be increased during the NST recording and the fetal heart sound will be ensured to continue. The pregnant woman who will be transferred will rest for about 2 minutes.

Control Group: No additional applications will be made

Treatment and study plan

video assisted training

Other

Ebelik bakımının yanı sıra NST konusunda eğitim içerikleri, eğitim videoları ve broşür destekli eğitimler verilecek. NST cihazı takılacak ve standart olarak işlem başladıktan 5 dakika sonra NST kaydı sırasında cihazdan gelen fetal kalp sesinin şiddeti artırılarak fetal kalp sesinin devam etmesi sağlanacaktır. Transfer edilecek hamile kadın yaklaşık 2 dakika kadar dinlenecektir.

Primary outcomes

  1. State-Trait Anxiety Scale

    Time frame: Baseline]

    It requires the person to mark one of four options, such as 1 (Not at all), 2 (Somewhat), 3 (A lot), 4 (Completely), depending on the intensity of his/her feelings about himself/herself at a certain time and under certain conditions.

  2. Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI)

    Time frame: Baseline]

    PAI is used to explain the thoughts, feelings, and situations experienced by the woman during pregnancy and to determine the level of attachment to the baby in the prenatal period. The increase in the score received by the pregnant woman indicates that her attachment level also increases.

Secondary outcomes

  1. State-Trait Anxiety Scale

    Time frame: after training is completed

    It requires the person to mark one of four options, such as 1 (Not at all), 2 (Somewhat), 3 (A lot), 4 (Completely), depending on the intensity of his/her feelings about himself/herself at a certain time and under certain conditions.

  2. Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI)

    Time frame: after training is completed

    PAI is used to explain the thoughts, feelings, and situations experienced by the woman during pregnancy and to determine the level of attachment to the baby in the prenatal period. The increase in the score received by the pregnant woman indicates that her attachment level also increases.

Other outcomes

  1. State-Trait Anxiety Scale

    Time frame: two weeks after training is completed

    It requires the person to mark one of four options, such as 1 (Not at all), 2 (Somewhat), 3 (A lot), 4 (Completely), depending on the intensity of his/her feelings about himself/herself at a certain time and under certain conditions.

  2. Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI)

    Time frame: two weeks after training is completed

    PAI is used to explain the thoughts, feelings, and situations experienced by the woman during pregnancy and to determine the level of attachment to the baby in the prenatal period. The increase in the score received by the pregnant woman indicates that her attachment level also increases.
